Answer:
x = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides of similar triangles will be in same ratio.

Cross multiply
x*28 = 20*(x+18) {Use distributive method}
28x = 20x + 360
28x - 20x = 360
8x = 360
x = 360/8
x = 45
First find the decimal equivalent of square root 3: SQRT(3) = 1.732 ( roughly)
If the base and height were each 3, then the hypotenuse would need to be:
3^2 + 3^2 = C^2
9 + 9 = C^2
18 = C^2
C = SQRT(18) = 4.24
This is larger than sqrt(3), so this cannot be a right triangle.
If one leg was 3 and the other leg was sqrt(3) then the hypotenuse would be:
3^2 + 1.73^2 = C^2
9 + 3 = C^2
12 = C^2
C = SQRT(12) = 3.46
This is larger than 3, this cannot be a right triangle.
The answer is b) no.

Substitute -3 to x
(-3)^2 + 4(-3) + 1
9 - 12 + 1
= -2
